A/n: So sorry. I try to update every week but the mother unit stayed home all last week and part of this one. She is VERY VERY religious (not that there is anything is wrong with that) so if she saw this I would probably be dead now, even if it doesn't have anything overly bad. I barely even got to write much. That and my English teacher is an evil Nazi giraffe. A 12 page research report is not exactly something I anticipated to have to do.

Chapter 5: You've got to be Kidding Me

Of course this scene wouldn't be complete unless Tala was in the kitchen listening to Spencer and Ian's conversation with Ray. He heard everything from the taunting of the Neko, to the declaration to Brian's hasty exit with the cat in tow. Judging on how fast Brian got him out of there he was telling the truth.

'What the hell is wrong with me? I pushed him away because I was afraid to lose him and I lost him anyway. But if Brian knew about Ray, why did he keep pushing me and Kai to get back together? Knowing him he probably just didn't care. I hate my life.'

As Tala was mentally beating himself up, Spencer walked in to the kitchen.

S- "So I take it you heard that."

T- "Go away."

S- "Tala, are you-"

T- "I said GET OUT"

I-"No. This is the kitchen. It's a public space. Besides it's all your fault anyway."

S- "We kept telling you to hurry up. You of all people should know that Kai wasn't going to wait forever."

T- "Thank you for the 'I told you so' Mr. Meyagi." (A/n: did I spell that right?)

S-"Maybe you should go talk to them now. It might not be too late yet."

T- "I am not going in there now."

S- "Why not? Don't want to see them together? It's not like you should be jealous. This is entirely your fault."

T- "Shut up Spencer"

S- "It is your fault that it's Ray in there and not you."

Brian walks in to the kitchen.

B- "Relax Spencer. Give him a break. You know why he didn't do anything."

S- "Ah yes. The grudge of a 10 year old. Get over it already. It was 8 years ago. Plus he came back. Shouldn't that count for something? Shouldn't that be enough for you?"

B- "Spencer, maybe you should stop now."

S- "No. He gets no sympathy from me and no pity from me because he never tried. It's not like Kai chose Ray over you. Tala, you never gave him the choice, you decided for yourself that you two would never be together. All I'm saying is that if you loved Kai half as much as you claim, you would fight for him. Go do something before you regret it for the rest of your life."

Tala throws a chair at Spencer's head.

"You missed."

He throws the table and catches him right on the forehead.

B- "Thus ends the tirade of Spencer. May he rest in peace. His head stone shall read, 'He deserved the chair but the table was uncalled for'."

T- "Shut up you know he's not dead."

B- "You sure? That table is really heavy."

T- "Not my problem. He thinks I should talk to Kai. Fine I will go talk to him. Tonight. When he gets back."

Ian pokes his head around the corner, "Go now, they are still up there you know."

B- "Yeah go now. It'll spare you the pain of knowing that they will have fun on their date and Ray the pain of prolonging the inevitable."

T- "Fine whatever lets just go."

B- "We are right behind you boss." He steps over Spencer's comatose body and grabs Ian.

I- "Why does Ian have to go?"

B- "Because I want to eavesdrop and I refuse to do it alone. Besides, it's for moral support."

By that time they are already upstairs. Brian and Ian are a safe distance away as Tala knocks on Kai's door.

A/n: I was going to end it here but since I haven't updated in a while I won't.

I-"They probably left already and we just didn't notice because of the all of the yelling and madness."

B- "Knock harder"

Still no answer.

B- "Just go in already. What is the worst that can happen?"

They open the door.

B- "You ever wish you could drop dead just for a couple of minutes?"

Tala closes the door.

B- "I really wish I hadn't just done that."

I- "I guess we should have seen that coming."

S- "You totally could have planned that better."

I- "This was all your bright idea and when did you wake up?"
S- "Oh contraire, I simply told him to do something. I was never really time specific. And I just came to. When I noticed that every one was gone I ran up here. Sure glad I did too. Seeing the action go down is so much better than listening to one of your nonsensical stories."

B- "Where did Tala go?"

S- "Crap. Ian go find him and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

I- "Why me? Ian is not an errand boy."

B- "Because you are the chosen one."

I- "That is not going to work this time."

B- "Because Tala is probably hanging himself at this moment and it will be all your fault for not being there to stop him."

I- "Or your fault for not being there either. Give me one good reason why I should go."

S- "Because I am going to beat you to death if you don't."

I- "That works." He jogs off to find Tala.

S- "This is so messed up. What are we going to do now?"

B- "Not much we can do. Tala is probably never going to listen to us ever again and Kai is fed up with Tala's stalling."

S- "True. So since we can't mess with dumb and dumber any more…"

B- "Why don't we mess with the kitten?"

S- "You read my mind. To the bat cave. We need to plan everything out this time. We need to be prepared for these types of curveballs from now on."

In Kai's room, they were only making out but Kai was still shirtless and Ray was on top of him. Ray was oblivious to the intruders but Kai noticed them.

K- 'Damn Brian and Spencer. I bet those two conned Tala into coming in here. He would have never just barged in on his own. Then again, it serves him right. I mean I do actually like Ray a lot but I never would have agreed to go out with him if I was back with Tala.'

"We should probably get going"

R- "Why?"

K- "You'll be mad at me if we miss the beginning of the movie again."

R- "Screw the movie. I am very content right here."

K- "You know what's going to happen if we stay like this right?"

R- "Yup, I'm counting on it."

K- "I thought you wanted to wait."

R- "I'm did but I'm tired of waiting and I don't want you to have to wait on me any more either."

K- "Are you sure? I don't want you to regret it later."

R- "You know I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't 100% sure so just shut up and kiss me again."

TBC

A/n: I end it here because its rated T and I don't feel comfortable going into detail. If you're old enough to read than you should all know what's going to happen. Anyway way next chapter should be within the week. I'm not really sure though because my mom is having company from out of town stay here and in case you didn't know, 3 crazy women that haven't seen each other in a while under the same roof plus lots of Hennessy and some Wine Coolers equals nothing but sheer madness.
